Altruist is on a mission to make independent financial advice better, more affordable, and accessible.
We’ve built an all-in-one platform that reduces barriers for financial advisors to deliver great advice.
Advisors using Altruist can work more efficiently and substantially lower operating costs, enabling them to grow on their own terms and help more people.
At Altruist, we value kindness, brilliance, and grit.
CEO Jason Wenk founded Altruist in 2018, and our platform launched in late 2020. Altruist has raised $58.5M in funding from top investors, including Venrock, Vanguard, and Insight Partners.
